DIPPlNG-FRANIE FOR CHOCOLATE-CREAM EGGSB SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 762,978, dated June 21, 1904.

I y Applieationgled February 19, 1904 Serial No. 194,427. (No model.)

To owl whom t may concern.-

in the county of Philadelphia and State ofV Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Dipping-Frame for Chocolate-Cream Eggs, of which the following is a speciication.

My invention relates to devices for coating bonbons or other pieces of confect, and more particularly to such as are designed 4for coating' cream eggs by dipping them into liquid chocolate. Heretofore such eggs were either coated by hand singly or put 'onto pins extending from a board or other solid backing, and this was then inverted, so that the eggs were held to thepins by the mere friction between the said pin and the material of the eggsurrounding the pin. Since all these pins taper, it is clear that the eggs are liable to slide therefrom either through their own weight or some other cause. To entirely overcome this diiiiculty or disadvantage, I`

have provided a frame with pins, onto which the cream eggs to be coated are fixed, and the frame, with eggs, 1s then immersed 1n liquld kchocolate without inverting the frame, and

thereby avoiding the liability of the sliding off of the eggs from their respective pins. To obtain this result, I provide an open frame composed of bars, which latter are hinged or otherwise held together to form a foldable frame.

My invention will be more fully understood taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming part hereof, and in which- Figure l is a perspective view of a dippingframe having the bars hinged, showing the pins for receiving the eggs to be coated and handles for manipulating the frame. Fig. 2 is a top view of the frame shown in Fig. l when folded together. Fig. 3 is a perspective View of a frame in which the outside bars are hinged together and the pin-carrying slats are removably held between said bars. Fig. 4 is a top view of the hinged outside bars of the frame shown in Fig. 3, and Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the pin-carrying slat of the frame shown in Fig. 3.

Referring now to the drawings for a further description of my invention, and more particularly to Figs. 1 and 2, L represents the slats or bars into which the pins c for holding the eggs in position are secured. I) represents side bars having holes for attachment of the handles d. The slats a and bars are pinned together, so that the frame, composed of the pinecarrying slats a and side bars b, may be folded together, as shown in Fig. 2, for the purpose -of storing the frames away when not in use. The handles d may be easily unhooked when folding the frame.

In Figs. 3, 4, and 5 I have shown amodified form of frame in which the outside bars are Vhinged together at the corners of the frame,

the hinge on one corner ybeing provided with aremovablepin g, so that the pin-carrying slats a, which are tenoned into the bars I), may

be easily removed and the outside bars folded up, asshown in Fig. 4, for storing, the handles 0l for this purpose being detached from the bars b.

When using my improved dipping-frame, a cream egg or other confect is pierced onto each of the pins c, as shown in Fig. l; but when heavy or bulky eggs are to be treated use is made of two pins, as shown in Figs. 3 and 5. rlhe two pins when attaching the egg are slightly pressed toward each other, so that a certain tension is produced within the material of the egg, and the friction between the pins and the egg material is increased.
